Dry matter (DM) yields, botanical composition, liveweight production and pasture quality of six
grazed dryland pastures established in 2002 at Lincoln
University, Canterbury, are reported for Years 6
(2007/08) and 7 ...

The pre- and post-grazing dry matter yields from six individual paddocks in a grazed lucerne rotation were compared at Ashley Dene, Lincoln University, over 5 years. The mean annual yield was ~12 000 kg DM/ha and unaffected ...

Lucerne sown immediately or after different forage crop sequences was investigated as a pasture option for post forestry conversion. In this experiment superphosphate and lime were applied in March 2005 before final seedbed ...

The amount of nitrogen (N) in clover dry matter (DM)
herbage derived from N fixation in subterranean or
white clover was estimated using the ¹⁵N enrichment
technique in a dryland grazing experiment at Lincoln
University. ...

After the removal of Pinus radiata forests, conditions
for establishing pastures are often sub optimal. The
ability of rape to aid pasture establishment and suppress
weeds was investigated at Darfield, Canterbury ...

Annual dry matter (DM) production and botanical
composition of six dryland pasture combinations, grown
under sheep grazing at Lincoln University for 5 years,
are presented. In 4 years, lucerne produced the highest
DM yields ...

The establishment and growth of ‘Stamina 5’ lucerne (Medicago sativa) seed sown with three inoculant carriers (ALOSCA®, coated, and peat slurry treated) or as bare seed (control) on five dates (21 October 2010,
9 November ...

This plenary paper was presented as an introduction to the Canterbury region at the combined 2010 conference for the New Zealand Grassland Association, New Zealand Agronomy Society, Australian Agronomy Society and New ...

The water use efficiencies (WUE) of a range of temperate
pasture species were calculated from measurements on
several different dryland and irrigated pastures in
Canterbury. The annual WUE ranged from 6.7 kg DM/
ha/mm for ...
